Also, add in extra time due to backlog from the Chinese New Year. I was told once that even something from Shenzhen to Kunming would take a month since it was around that time.
Had some Taiwan Beer in a bottle at a bar on Wenlinjie last weekend. Excellent beer.
Anychance someone has seen this for sale in a shop in Kunming?
Haigeng Park no longer allows you to take your bike or ebike inside. They provide parking for bikes outside of the entrance. Cars are still allowed in.
Not sure when the policy changed, but it used to be fun to ride in and out of the park through a different entrance.

I always wondered why C4 had such trashy looking produce. Then one day I went for something very early in the morning. pretty much at opening. At the opening, the produce is stocked high and fresh. But within half an hour, the army of old people had went through it and left a rubble of vegetables.
They will steal it sooner or later; one way or another. So unless he has no other takers or needs this money for his mortgage...

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
The drought: Good and bad news
Posted byI went up to the roof of our complex a while back. 2 of 6 solar water tanks had pretty leaky pipes. I think your figure of 20-40L is right. The other 60L+ is waste cause water is too cheap and will remain so despite a drought.

Yunnan goes infrastructure crazy
Posted byThat's a very good point. I forgot in the USA we don't even have highspeed rail, and the one planned in California will take decades, not years. I shouldn't complain too much.
Getting Away: Nanning
Posted byNanning...still not so good.
Yunnan goes infrastructure crazy
Posted byGreat update on all the planned transportation. I'll believe it when I see it, or in this case, I ride on it. Kunming subway is taking forever, so not going to hold my breath for that highspeed rail to somewhere.
